Three USA Olympians visiting Pittsburgh and Pitt this weekend for a WATER POLO Clinic.

The public is welcome to come and watch the games. Women's game on Friday night at 7:50 pm. Men's game at 11 am on Saturday. 

Lots and lots of instructional play in various groups will unfold. Plus, over at CMU there is a college waterpolo tournament going on too on Saturday and Sunday. 

Just to be clear, all the spaces at the clinic for players are gone now. Kids had to sign up a few weeks ago and pay a fee. But, the upstairs will be open for those interested in checking it out. 


Schedule at Pitt:


FRIDAY:
Waterpolo game at Pitt with the University team and Tiger Water Polo at 7:50 pm, game time.


SATURDAY 
Please plan to arrive to TREES POOL between 11:30-12:15 (lower entrance)  so we can sign you up for the camp and you can meet take an autograph and take a picture with the Olympians. That will also give us enough time to change, meet and dry warm up before we get in the water.
